High-temperature X-ray diffraction studies of SrZrO3and BaZrO3perovskites have been carried out to 1200° C. The diffraction patterns are analyzed with Rietveld method so as to refine the unit cell dimensions. The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient are observed to be 2.98*10-5K-1for orthorhombicPbnmphase, 3.24*10-5K-1for orthorhombicCmcmphase, 3.75*10-5K-1for tetragonal I4/mcm phase of SrZrO3perovskite, and 2.06*10-5K-1for cubicPm3mphase of BaZrO3perovskite, respectively. The linear thermal expansion coefficients of SrZrO3perovskite show considerable anisotropy of αa>αc>αbfor orthorhombic Pbnm phase, which reflect the decrease of distortion of the perovskite. It is demonstrated that thermal expansion of the centrosymmetrically distorted ABX3perovskite can be empirically expressed as a combination of the changes of [B-X] bond length and tilting angle of BX6octahedral framework. The octahedral tilting is considered to be the primary order parameter for the ferroelastic type of structural phase transitions in perovskite. Thermodynamically, the tilting induced volume change denotes the “excess volume” and the corresponding thermal expansion represents the “excess thermal expansion” for the lower symmetry phase with respect to its prototype of the cubic perovskite.
